Hi! Mostly the 1100 series, some 1400 and I had a 1200 come around. I still have a few examples in my stash. I lived near Goddard SFC and attended the sales there in Bldg 16W, got lots of Microdyne back in the day, Also had lots of the competitors stuff as well. Have cleaned out most of it (some Microdyne of mine went to Fair Radio, he didnt understand it..) and recently sent 5500 pounds to e-scrap- some diversity combiners in there. Hated those 47u at 35 volt caps (dipped) always bad! You must have worked on the newer stuff after they moved from the DC area., No surface mount in my stuff! Some of the 1100 were used by NSA, from DoD sales, had a VLF tuner, I guess for subcarrier work. Documentation was rare..
Regards,
Jeff

What series of Microdye radios did you service? I worked on many of them at their factory in Ocala. We still produced some 1100 series, 1200, 1400, 700/1620, and the RCB2000 during my time there. They had also built their many 1100 series satellite receivers at that plant. We had some VXI boards for custom Telemetry products, but they were handled by the Engineering techs. We were using mostly SMD or molded tubular Tantalum during the 1997 to 2001 period. I don't recall any dipped tantalum, so the older designs must have ad the borads spn to change to the tubular style.
